The guest artists include Lorna Luft who put the show together, Dr. John, Edgar Winter, and Ian Hunter. The songs, played with reckless abandon, include a metal-crunching rendition of "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo," awith an extended guitar finale; a gloriously tight and bracing "Let Me In," a medley of "All the Young Dudes"/"Roll Away the Stone" featuring Ian Hunter, "Just Another Night" also featuring Hunter, and "Right Place, Wrong Time" with Dr. John and Edgar Winter. And the set finishes with a mass singalong of "Hang On Sloopy," featuring everybody present. Hall & Oates were at the show but don't appear here.
